I have decided that in 2016 (ok I am getting like a 2 day head start, but I need it!) I will be swatching all my untrieds! Go ahead, chuckle along with me, because this also includes me going on a no buy until I finish it. I had a great 2015 with building my indie collection to well over 500 polishes, and now I need to wear them! They are sitting on their racks in my office yelling at me, and I feel bad *wink*

I decided to start somewhat small. I have 4 Lollipop Posse Lacquers, 1 I got in an indie swap and the other 3 I purchased. 2 of the 4 I have are still available in Karen's shop. I will start with those.

This one really surprised me, for some reason I did not think this would be a favorite, don't ask why, maybe I was sleepy or something. This is such an awesome red jelly with iridescent blue glitters throughout. It took 2 smooth coats and I think that is what surprised me, the opaqueness of this color. It is super shiny and totally gorgeous. In the macro below you can really see those awesome glitters poking through and I love it! "But I Haven't Met You Yet" is on sale now for only $6.00

This is a smokey blue holo that has some duochrome properties to it depending on how you look at it. This is 3 smooth coats. I love the tone to this color and the holo is fantastic. You can see in the macro below it looks darker and more greenish grey then smokey blue in the swatch pic above. I also got a hint of teal when I was moving my hand around in the light. It is really a great color. This is available for $11.00

The last 2 polishes are not available anymore but still awesome nonetheless, and again this blog series is about my collection of untrieds so some may not be available in stores anymore.

The next color is "Space Cake High"

I love a good neon green! I buy a ton of neon green for my Seahawks gameday manis, and I hadn't gotten around to using this one this one season. I am in love with this though! 3 thin coats, and it includes a little bit of holo in there, along with teeny tiny sky blue matte glitters. I love it!

Lastly is "Labor Day 2015"

If I am not mistaken, this was a free polish for the Labor Day sale and I had purchased Space Cake High, and Backwards and Inside Out along with it. This is such a beautiful lavender holo. There is nothing bad about this polish and it went on in 3 easy coats. This is one of my favorite shades of purple so I was delighted to see this in my package! Look at how pretty that macro is!
